    You've only just joined MFP yeah? Give it focus, and time. Many people have lost weight with MFP but you need to be in the right frame of mind....you need to want to do it, and be focussed on doing it.

    Why do you say you can't? What have you already tried?

    Oh yes you can sweetie! Making the effort to start the change is the hardest. Feel free to add me if you need any advice or support. Just remember it will never happen overnight. Log what you eat and just keep an eye on your eating habits. I promise, it works. Once you see your lifestyle habits and begin to change, I guarantee weight loss will eventually come.

    I think you may just be overwhelmed at this point. Just take it one day at a time. Remember, this process take time. Also remember, when you start working out, you may gain weight. Keep in mind that this is just water weight. Don't get discouraged. That has been my problem. I workout, watch what I eat, and the numbers on the scale go UP!

    That's exactly what I thought when I tried at the beginning. I was 340 lbs and now I'm down to 318. The weight didn't come off at all at first but I kept counting calories and working with the deficit and started moving instead of watching tv all day and all night long. The first two weeks I had absolutely no weight loss. NONE. I was really mad and depressed all at the same time. The second two weeks the weight just started coming off slowly and before I knew it I was down 22 pounds. Just keep hammering at it and you'll make it. We all believe in you more than you know.

    I agree with everyone, YES you can... Give us more detail so we can help. There was a time in my life, not to long ago where I didn't think I could either. Never in a million years did I think I could, would and keep it off! We're here to help so let us.

    I felt like that until I found MFP. It has changed my life and if you follow the guidelines, it will change yours. On this site, you don't have to torture yourself, you don't have to exercise for hours on end and you don't have to deny yourself of the foods you love. All you have to do is enter your food (I enter before I eat to stay on track) in your diary and stay within the guidelines of calories, ect. Good Luck ps - If you mess up one day, move on to the next day and try again!
